If you have some money to spend, here is a professional tutorial...

If you don't have that much to spend, here is how to buy a much less expensive 25 US Dollar book...

I could not find any web tutorials for you.

I bought the book "Killer Game Programming in Java" by O'Reilly and found it helpful.

So did I solve your problem?

I will try to give you the best answer I can. Most retail 3D games that are found on store shelves today are created using the DirectX API, and (very minimally) OpenGL. Consoles, such as the PS3 or the Wii have their own APIs, or modifications of an existing one.

The reason for these APIs is due to the complexity of creating things in 3D. With a API, some of the overhead is removed. However, even with an API some knowledge is required about what is going on in the background.

If you are very serious about learning how to write 3D applications, I suggest buying the OpenGL "Red Book". OpenGL is a free 3D API, and is very well documented. However, the book assumes you have a fairly good grasp of concepts such as Linear Algebra and a good programming skill set.

Beware of these books titled "Learn to program 3D games" or the like. They are simply a scam, to say the least. They are synonymous to those community college commercials you see on TV claiming they can turn you into a video game designer/programmer. Making 3D games isn't easy, it takes effort to learn.

openGL would be good to learn, you can use JOGL.

JOGL is a java layer between your program and openGL that allows you to draw openGL 3D graphics on application window.

Jogl also does not cost anything.
